Service Shell 2.4 SP1 Service Shell V2.4SP1 Release Notes
VAL MPE firmware* 2.00 MPE 2.00 release notes
*Due to a problem with the slip sheet counter not resetting to zero on the old-style SSR units, we recommend NOT upgrading to MPE firmware version 2.00 on machines with serial numbers BA112 and earlier. Stay with Version 1.15 or 1.18 until the next release is ready. This is not an issue for Trendsetter VLF Autoloaders from BA113 on. They should all have MPE firmware v2.00 installed.

Exception:   If an older VLF TS Autoloader requires MPE firmware v2.00 to support V2.8 speed imaging, P33 imaging, the Delicate Media (DM) Picker option or the Processor Interface option, then a SSR bag sensor kit will need to be installed (P/N 512-00065A).
